More input methods in defsrc

Long shot I know, but hear me out.

I am not one of those users that use kanata like a qmk keyboard and enjoy its amazing functionality with macros and layers and stuff on the fly. I my keyboard is just a plain keyboard and will likely stay like that.

What I do though is: I have a 35 macro pad which I purchased from aliexpress mostly causse of its form factor, it has macro functionalities and remapping and stuff but I dont really use them cause it doesnt have layer functionality just like kanata (which nothing comes close, apart I guess from QMK) so what I do is use kanata as a firmware to add all those features But! the problem is windows can only have so many keys that I wont use as a normal keyboard and that kanata recognizes e.g F13-F24, scrollock, pause and few other. I tried media keys with no success. So my only real solution to be able to map all the keys through kanata is the interception driver which to be honest works well, In essence I created a very powerfull macropad without affecting my normal keyboard.

But again! even though interception does the trick its very persky and windows seems to want to eliminate it, being a 3rd party tool and security and all the other stuff.

So my request/idea is if possible in the defsrc section of kanata to use other stuff such as

1. Combinations like ctrl+F13 or ctrl+shift+F14 and so on ( I know can use the switch logic but its really not the same and so more complicated when it comes to tap-dancing staff.
2. Be able to use midi.
3. Or anything else really that can make this possible.

Thanks for hearing me out!

1. The way to do this would be defchordsv2
2. I will likely never add this myself, but contributions or TCP integration with a doc added to README would be welcome

in any case thank you so much! dechordsv2 is very nice though!
